The fair had its beginnings in Castleton, and its continued
success over the years in Rutland is related in great detail.
Individuals such as Theodore Roosevelt, Dr.Bell, Wizard of the
High Wire, Mamie Spence, “World’s Best Horseback Rifle
Shot”, and numerous other fascinating personalities add color
and excitement.
Mr. Cooper adds additional interest in discussing broader world
events during those years. A happy excursion into the past.
